I’d 100% keep Wilkinson even if Fordy has a special talent lined up at hooker Wilkinson would be a quality number 2 hooker. why would we keep Oldham lads who can’t even get in the current squad? id like to keep Ridyard and McNally I think they would also thrive in dominant forward pack team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you will be operating on a budget higher than many Championship teams next season. 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

sheddingswasus Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 So if we are only retaining 20% of the squad (assuming the original squad) I wonder who are the retained 5? Maybe George Hirst (heard him say we need to start building for next year), Jordan Paga, Sheridan?, Whittel (2 year contract), Kian Morgan Wonder if Brendon Sheridan will be retained ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching staff needed a clean sweep after the Littler decision. Ridyard should have been given a shot as assistant. Three disappointing ends in three seasons yet one coach has been constant. Fresh start needed in that department now. Youre not far wrong with the players. Three of them are lucky to be honest. Their form nowhere near as good as some have been saying.

Youre not far wrong with the players. Three of them are lucky to be honest. Their form nowhere near as good as some have been saying. I think Ridyard is perhaps too connected to Littler. Even if he doesn’t follow littler to his next job, I doubt Ridyard would have wanted to stay. But I do agree , he should have been given a chance. I agree we never achieved under Littler. Maybe in hindsight the decision should have been taken sooner. Paga was superb earlier on this season. Whilst his 4 match ban was a disgrace compared to some of the goings on in SL, on his return he has not been the same player. Not sure why, but definitely not. Ml i would have liked to see Joe Hartley and Callum Cameron being given another shot under the right coach I think they would kick on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridyard should then have been given more responsibility. He had the players respect. If Ridyard had been Littlers assistant the season could have been different.

SUPERSTUD Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 As a complete neutral I really don’t know where to start. The group have been a complete shambles. If at all possible I would offload each and every one of them including Hirst. Young raw and dumb. For me the club will go one of two ways. Either prosper or be full of internal wrangling for a few years before folding. Fordy pull no punches clear them out and get some pride back into what should be a great club. Oh and Jamie Ellis - an hamstring is more likely to go if it is supporting excess weight. Just saying! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing 24 game season, play each other three times, Twice at home and once away for four teams and the reverse for the other four teams.

shrewsbury roughyed Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Regarding league one or reorganisation next season you can almost guarantee that the RFL will list 10 possible scenarios from vaguely sensible at number 1 to ridiculously and breathtakingly stupid at number 10, before naturally plumping for number 10. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
